Creative reconstructions of poitical imagery in an Instagram-based election campaign: Implications for visual rhetorical literacy
2021
This article reviews literature on visual rhetoric in political campaigning and synthesizes several strands of current research devoted to the rhetorical potential of communicating with visuals in online environments. It uses rhetorical concepts of identification and manoeuvring, as well as the category of topos, to discuss the implications of an abductive analysis of a coded corpus of 1976 Instagram images posted during 2019 election to the European Parliament campaign in Poland. On this basis, the article offers recommendations related to the awareness of topoi in visual rhetoric to foster users’ creative inventory. In the context of increasingly strategically designed and creative online…
Etanercept maintains the clinical benefit achieved by infliximab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who discontinued infliximab because of side ef…
2007
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of switching to etanercept treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who already responded to infliximab, but presented side effects. Methods: Charts of 553 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were retrospectively reviewed to select patients who responded to the treatment with infliximab and switched to etanercept because of occurrence of adverse effects. Clinical data were gathered during 24 weeks of etanercept treatment and for the same period of infliximab treatment before infliximab was stopped. Disease Activity Score computed on 44 joints (DAS-44), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) 1st hour, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of pain, Health Assessm…
The Effect of Mechanocatalytic Pretreatment on the Structure and Depolymerization of Willow
2020
In this study, the effect of a mechanocatalytic pretreatment on the structure of willow and sugar release from pretreated willow was explored. In the mechanocatalytic approach, the pretreatment consists of solvent-free impregnation with sulfuric acid and a mechanical treatment with ball milling. Willow sawdust and pretreated samples were analyzed with field emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The products in the sugar solution were determined as the total reducing sugars with the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid method and monosaccharides with capillary electrophoresis. According to the results, milling increased the sugar production, depending on the sulfuric acid load. T…

Riskien havainnollistamisohjelmisto RiskDemo
2018
RiskDemo on vapaasti käytettävä ohjelmistotyökalu, joka on tarkoitettu havainnollistamaan riskejä todennäköisyyslaskennan ja tilastotieteen näkökulmasta. Ohjelmalla voidaan havainnollistaa riskejä monenlaisten graafisten esitysten, taulukoiden ja riskilukujen avulla. Tällä hetkellä sillä voidaan havainnollistaa demografiaa, korko- ja osakesijoittamista sekä klassista vararikkoteoriaa. Tässä artikkelissa esitellään RiskDemo-ohjelmiston ominaisuudet ja opastetaan sen käyttämiseen riskien havainnollistamisessa. Lukija voi RiskDemon avulla tutustua moniin riskienhallinnan avainkäsitteisiin havainnollisessa ja konkreettisessa muodossa. peerReviewed
Standardization of Road Danger Signs in the European Union
2015
The aim of this research is to find a solution for the standardization of road signs in the EU zone by a comparative analysis of different national sign systems to establish a common set from a single country. This work is based on the idea that road sign standardization might increase the safety level of transnational journeys and foster the relationships among the various members of the EU Community. This paper presents the outcome of the first step of the research, which focuses on the harmonization of danger signs. In more detail, a multicriteria approach is applied to rank 19 EU Member States on the basis of three main aspects: the installation cost of new signs, new sign learning issu…
Contributions à l'analyse et à l'interprétation des images : Extraction et représentation de caractéristiques
2016
Ce mémoire, rédigé en vue de l'obtention de l'Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (HDR), offre un aperçu des travaux de recherche et d’encadrement que j’ai pu mener depuis l'obtention de mon doctorat. Il montre la diversité des champs d’application et de recherche (en vision et en imagerie médicale) que j’ai pu couvrir , ainsi que mon implication dans l’encadrement doctoral.Mes activités de recherche se divisent en deux grandes parties. D'une part, l'analyse de scènes dynamiques, à savoir la détection de regions d'intérêt dans des séquences d'images, pour réduire la taile des données à traiter, et la détection et le suivi d'objets mobiles à l'aide de caméras de diverses natures (perspecti…
Crítica social en La noche de los muertos vivientes y su remake: aportaciones al rol de la mujer en el cine de terror.
2021
Tradicionalmente se ha tenido la percepción de que la mujer en el cine de terror a ocupado un rol pasivo que le llevaba a asumir, casi siempre, el papel de víctima, subyugada en todo momento a los personajes masculinos del texto fílmico. Por este motivo el cine de terror es concebido de forma habitual como un género culturalmente dominado y consumido por hombres, producido por una industria que victimiza y castiga a la mujer una y otra vez. Partiendo de esta premisa y aprovechando la crítica de corte sociopolítico presente en La noche de los muertos vivientes (Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero, 1968) y su remake del año 1990, nos planteamos un análisis de la crítica elaborada por R…
